Background: The most common reason for readmission after bariatric surgery is postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The aim of this study was to compare the incidence and severity of PONV between patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and gastric bypass (GB).
Methods: This was a prospective observational cohort study that evaluated all patients who underwent non-revisional isolated SG or GB at a tertiary care center. Patients were asked to grade their nausea on a 10-point Likert scale at 2 h postoperatively and the morning of each postoperative day (POD).
Results: There were 65 patients that matched the inclusion criteria, of which 29 underwent SG and 36 underwent GB. There were no significant differences in age (p = 0.198), BMI (p = 0.294), American Society of Anesthesiology classification (p = 0.380), or male gender (p = 0.164) when comparing SG and GB patients. Perioperative PONV prophylaxis was similar. There were no differences in LOS (2.6 ± 1.3 vs 2.3 ± 0.5 days, p = 0.919) or readmission/visit to the emergency department due to PONV (10.3% vs 13.9%, p = 0.665) between the two groups. Prolonged LOS due to PONV occurred in 20.7% of SG patients and 19.4% of GB patients (p = 0.901).
Conclusions: The severity and incidence of PONV are similar following SG and GB. Importantly, there was no difference in hospital utilization due to PONV between SG and GB.

Objective: With the global aging population, the incidence of OA is rising annually, and the number of TKA surgeries is rapidly increasing, placing a heavy economic and healthcare burden on society. As one of the key medications in the ERAS protocol, DXM can significantly reduce postoperative pain, suppress nausea and vomiting, and accelerate patient recovery. However, the safety of perioperative DXM use in patients with diabetes remains unclear.

Background: Transcatheter valve-in-valve replacement (TMViVR) is an alternative option for patients with bioprosthetic valve failure (BVF) who are at high surgical risk. Although infective endocarditis (IE) after transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement is unusual, it is associated with significantly high mortality.

Background: We conducted this study to compare the efficacy of oral 10 and 5 mg olanzapine for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
Methods: Notably, 135 female patients between the ages of 18 and 50 years, classed as American Society of Anaesthesiologists I and II, who underwent elective laparoscopic gynaecological surgery under general anaesthesia were randomly assigned to one of three groups (45 each) to receive perioperative 5 or 10 mg oral olanzapine (OL5 and OL10 groups), or a placebo (in the control group). Postoperation, we recorded the occurrence and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting within 24 h, the number of patients who received antiemetics and any associated side effects.

Background: Prospective trial evidence is lacking regarding the application of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in transvaginal pelvic floor reconstruction surgery among older patients. Our study aimed to investigate whether implementing the ERAS protocol could enhance post-operative recovery in this patient population.
Methods: Older patients undergoing elective transvaginal pelvic floor reconstruction surgery were randomly assigned to either the ERAS group or the conventional group.
